a. For Type A customers
Step T2 can process (60/13) = 4.62 customers per hour.
Step T3 has three work stations and a capacity of (60/14) +
(60/10) + (60/11) = 15.74 customer per hour.
Step T4 can process (60/18) = 3.33 customers per hour.
The bottleneck for type A customers is T4.

b. For Type B customers
T6 is the bottleneck for Type B customers.
The capacity for Type B customers is (60/22) = 2.73 customers
per hour.
The average capacity is 0.3(3.33) + 0.7(2.73) = 2.9 customers per
hour.
